I'm going to tell you here on the Minnesota goodbye my stupid foot in the
mouth moment. I don't want to say it on the radio because I told
Jenny already, but I think once in a while we embarrass ourselves or put
our foot in our mouth and then you feel stupid. Now, if you
haven't done it lately, good, but you're overdue. So if you ever
put your foot in your mouth or you said something stupid, or you embarrassed
yourself, we all do it. And I don't embarrass as easily as I
did when I was younger, but this was stupid, and I embarrassed myself
yesterday, so I'm down at I don't think I'm meaning to say I met
somebody. I met a group of people. I met three people. One
of them their name was Ryan Okay, is it guy at thirty years old?
His name is Ryan Okay. Good to meet you, Ryan, Good
to meet you, Good to meet you. Blah blah blah blah blah.
And one of the person people there said, oh, I listen to your
show all the time, Dave Flugelbinder, And we laughed because that's a fake
name that I came up with, Like I say, my name's not Dave
Ryan, and it's Dave Flugelbinder. Well, it's, of course it's not
Dave Flugelbinder. It's Dave Kibler, I told them, and they said.
One of them said, well, how'd you come up with a name Dave
Ryan? And I said, you know, when you're seventeen years old and
you're in radio and you get to change your name to whatever you want,
you know, you can pick something really good, like I don't know Oprah
Winfrey or Ryan Seacrest or Quentin Tarantino or Billie Eilish, and I chose the
most boring name in the world. Ryan. Now remember forty five seconds earlier,
I had just met a guy named Ryan. Yeah, And and Ryan
was like, okay, well, I guess I'll just step out of this
conversation. And I was like, no, I mean, I've mamed that.
And so I felt so stupid because you know, of course, what
I meant is as a show biz name, you know, you pick a
name like I don't know Billie Eilish or you know, name another one.
I can't think of anything right now, share is probably is so and and
he got it, but I still felt stupid that I just insulted his name,
and I'm like, no, that's my name too, I'm not insulting
you. But I felt stupid, so I know, I mean, I
totally get where you're coming from. I would probably feel a little sad myself
that I said that, but I just don't think it's that bad because how
like easily we forget names the moment we meet someone. It is just insane.
It's a poor quality to have. But I also just forget someone's name
immediately, so it wouldn't be like top of mine to me all of a
sudden when I'm like, start talking smack about the name, and you thought
and you obviously thought you were just talking smack about yourself, you know,
yeah, right exactly. Yeah, it just, I don't know, just
bugged me, and then I felt stupid. I felt because he was so
nice and gracious, and then I was and you know, didn't mean to
be an asshole, but you know, what about you if you ever stuck
your foot in your mouth or done anything stupid, let us know. We
did bring up on the show Bad Movie Theater Experiences yesterday here on the min
Minnesota Good Bobe because somebody said I can't go to the movie anymore. Somebody
had a ring light out. There were teens I love it when they call
them teens that were making videos on TikTok and giggling and talking out loud.
And there was a couple that had sex in the theater and blah blah blah.
And so I said, I don't know where you're going to the movies,
but wherever I go, either the parents have raised them right, or
the kids are just too bored or whatever, they don't they come in and
watch the movie. Yeah, is that your experience, that's my experience as
well. So we have an email from Andrew in Ohio. Andrew writes every
single day. And Andrew, sometimes I read your emails and sometimes I don't,
But I'm glad you listened to the show. Want to share my experience
with you from last year. I went to a theater with my wife to
see Jurassic Park in theaters for some kind of special showing. And there were
these two teenagers, maybe eleven, twelve, thirteen there next to us throughout
the whole movie. Luckily we'd seen it before, otherwise I would have been
more upset. But they were loud and on their phones, and every few
minutes they'd leave the theater, come back before they left. Before they left,
before the movie was even over, one of them opened Snapchat or something
on his phone and turned up the volume all the way up. I looked
over and said, really, you're kidding me, right, And the dumb
ass says, oh, I'm trying to watch something. I looked at him,
dumbfounded and said, yeah, me too. I honestly want to grab
his phone and throw it across the room. It was rudeness for the entire
movie until they left fifteen minutes before the end. Ridiculous. Parents need to
teach their kids better or something, right, Andrew in Ohio, I think
that there might be a gap of experience with politeness in a movie theater.
In other words, you and I grew up knowing you go to the movie
theater and you are quiet. But there might be a generation that doesn't understand
that the movie is not a social event. I don't know that it would
be a generation, though. I think it's all comes down to how they're
raised. Yeah, yeah, I think that's a very like you know,
you got your nature versus nurture. It's definitely a nurture environment. I think
I was in Eden Prairie theaters long ago before they converted it. So we're
talking back in about nineteen ninety eight or so, and we were watching a
Tim Allen movie about him going to space, and it was a very forgettable
movie. But there were about four or five teenage girls, probably fourteen to
fifteen years old, sitting a few rows in front of us, and every
time something moderately funny would happen, they would laugh really loud, like deliberately,
like really loud. Yeah, And I knew they were doing it deliberately,
and it was very annoying, very distracting. So I said something like
okay, girls, that's enough, and they stopped because I think they were
like, oh, now we're busted. But Alison was mortified. She was
like, Dad, why'd you say that? And then of course I felt
bad for saying something, but they put me in a position to like,
don't ruin the movie for everybody else there. I just think kids are I
mean, I was a young dumb kid at one point too. I'm sure
I did annoying shit like that, probably not at the movie theater because I
didn't really do that, but or go to the movies very often, but
I'm sure I did, and it's just whatever. If someone yelled at me,
and I know I got yelled at by adults sometimes for being annoying,
I just brushed it off so like it might have been embarrassing for Allison,
But I'm sure those girls are like, now, whatever. Yeah, I'm
sure we didn't ruin their evening. I remember when I was a kid,
probably eight or ten, with my friend Scott, his mom would drop us
off at mattin a movies at the theater, and one time we took squirt
guns because we thought it'd be really funny to shoot squirt guns up in the
air at the people, like down in front of us, so the water
would land on them. What we didn't realize was if you shoot a squirt
gun up in the air at a movie theater, the light from the projector
projector shines right on the water, okay, and it's like a laser beam
showing people where you are. So we got in trouble, and I don't
think we got out of trouble. We didn't get kicked out. I think
we just had some eighteen year old girl tell us to stop it, and
so we did because we didn't want to get in trouble, but we were
little assholes too. Yeah, you go through your face, Dave and Jenny.
Alamo Draft House in wood Hood, Woodbury is worth checking out if you
can't stand poor movie theater etiquette. They have a no tolerance policy for talking
during the movie and a no cell phone use policy and it's enforced. Good
to know Alamo Draft House. I've been there once. It's a nice place.
They've got like the whole like restaurant ahead of time. It's a pretty
bougie movie theater, that's what they said. They also have a weight staff
that'll bring you beer, mixed drink, snacks, and then they even have
a full menu including chicken strips and burgers. It's awesome. Some feedback on
ads, now, this is interesting. We haven't talked about this in a
while, but ads on the podcast Okay, does Chump of Casino and Lucky
Land Slots realize that I will never use them due to their ads being so
overplayed and stupid. Also, there is an ad for LUNs and buyer Lees
that fallon did that's about Valentine's Day and it's all almost April. I just
forwarded that to the boss to see if they can take care of the fallon
Ad. Again, somebody is not doing their job and it's frustrating, but
what can we do? Love the show? If you guys, Ad,
Bailey and vant I could not be more excited. That is from Isaac in
beautiful downtown a Marie, Wisconsin. I got your address. I'll send a
send you a sticker, Isaac. All right, now we're gonna scroll down
to some emails that came in earlier and we did not get to them,
So let's start with this one. Listening to Minnesota Goodbye as Usual and immediately
thought of an irrational fear when it was brought up snakes because I talked about
my irrational fear of a plane crashing into the house. Well, I don't
think I was on that one, okay, but I do have one that's
very strange. Just like an irrational fear, it's never going to happen.
But you have this fear Mine is that when I flush a spider down the
toilet, that it's gonna come up and like, while I'm going to the
bathroom, you know enter a region, Yes exactly. You know that does
happen all the time, Jenny, So next time, I know it does
all the time. Yeah. It happened to a nephew of mine. Yeah,
a nephew of mine. Yeah. And he's still he's got his ass
hole, has never been the system. He's got a big red fing marks
on his asshole because a spider climbed up his butt cheek and bit him in
the asshole. So that does happen, Jenny, did he like it?
I mean he probably did. Yeah, So anyway, they said mine is
snake specifically either curled up under the toilet seat or coming up from the hole
in the toilet and biting my bits. I saw an episode it Touched by
an Angel. I was seven or eight with an elderly lady who kept calling
her landlord about a snake in the toilet. They thought she was bananas until
the end of the episode when Michael landon That's doorable saw the head of a
rattlesnake peek up out of the bowl. Nope. It traumatized me at the
time, but I got over it until ten years ago. I moved into
my house with a very wooded backyard across the street from a pond. All
kinds of craters everywhere. The worst is the gardener snakes and bowl snakes ick
ach akeke ick. We even bought a teeny tiny baby snake or caught a
teeny tiny baby snake in the basement of time or two always in the spring,
which of course reignited my fear of snakes in the toilet. I am
forty four, and I religiously checked first, especially before using the bathroom downstairs.
Apologies for not being more formal with my email. I feel like I've
written it enough that it'll start to get redundant and obnoxious to hear how great
I think you are, But I do any who. I suppose this is
how my family send signals the end of our Minnesota goodbye, so another day.
So I get that when you're leaving you go anyway. I suppose I
bet or get going. I do the well and like do a little knee
slap to Andrew, like well, we gotta get going, yep. And
sometimes you just like you're you're looking at your partner going can we leave yet?
Can we leave yet? And I do the same thing. When you
leave a party, do you do the Irish goodbye? Like we know you
always say goodbye to the host always okay, yeah, we usually don't I
like even this past weekend when we were out partying in Veil after our snowboard
day, we tried to find everyone we had met that night of this group
of random people to say goodbye to, and we weren't even good friends with
them, like that's just Andrew and I really wow. And we was in
like a busy club and we were like trying to find everyone, and finally
we gave up because we're like whatever, we let's get going. We usually
do the Minnesota goodbye or the Irish goodbye, like the neighbors usually have a
great Christmas party every year, and if you say goodbye, then you always
get the well you're leaving so soon, or oh thanks for coming, and
hey, how's Carson doing, and it's like okay, So we usually just
sneak out yeah, and you know it's fine. They don't miss us until
the next morning they go, did Dave and Susan ever say goodbye? She
goes, all right, enjoy the rest of your afternoon and thank you.
Man. I'm gonna hit delete on that one. I'm gonna skip up to
one that I missed earlier. It's eight pm on Thursday, and I just
had a weird synchronistic movement just now, because somebody said a couple of weeks
ago, they said, you know, you guys will be talking about like
black pickup trucks with chrome exhaust, and I'll look out my driver's window and
there's a black pickup truck with chrome exhaust. Yeah. Or you'll be talking
about going the dentist while I'm in the dentist parking lot. And I thought
that's interesting. She said, I'm listening to your Minnesota Goodbye podcast on an
airplane and I was trying unsuccessfully to connect to the Wi Fi right when you
started talking about that. I'll have to wait till I land until I can
send this laugh emoji from Melissa. Yeah. We talked about how plane WiFi
is either one of four things. It's either broken that day, it doesn't
connect at all, it's a shitty connection, or once in a while it
works just fine. Yeah. So so if you want to send anything about
Wi Fi synchronicity or movie theater etiquette. I think that that was interesting.
Let's find another one. Okay, this is a follow up to your recent
podcast. Oh, because we talked about how a friend of mine says she
didn't feel appreciated do you remember this one? You might have bet on vacation.
No, I think this was before I went on vacation. Okay,
friend of mine doesn't feel appreciated. She makes all the reservations for dinner,
vacations, whatever. I saw a meme yesterday that there's one person in a
couple that's like, Okay, we got the passports, the rental car is
ready, and we're checking into the hotel at three pm, and the other
half of the couple goes, where are we going again? Yep? Is
that you? And Andrew for the most part. Yeah, he takes care
of the car rental every time if we're renting a car somewhere. But outside
of that, I do every other little detail and I'm okay with that because
I like doing that, So okay, yeah, Susan does that too.
This is a follow up on how people need to feel appreciated, particularly moms
at holidays were so busy wrapping and buying and food prep and everything involved to
make it special for everyone. I learned early on my husband is not always
the best gift buyer and doesn't necessarily plan ahead, and it's very disappointing to
have an empty stocking, and that came up to a couple of weeks ago
that moms will work to get like little tic TACs or headbands or a yo
yo or whatever they put in the stocking, and maybe a little I don't
know, something for the husband. Like Susan usually gets me candy in his
slim gym or something and the moms get nothing. I always get Susan something
in her stocking, and you know, whether it's gum or some chapstick or
something, you know what I mean. Yeah, So every year I'd buy
myself whatever the hell I wanted and I'd put in the stocking. It was
great. I got all kinds of goodies, gift cards, jewelry, and
nobody could give me any business about it. Ha. Now that my kids
are older, we draw names, which makes it super fun and gets them
in the spirit as well. Ps. This also works for Mother's Day.
Every year we go to a garden center and I pick out my gift.
Thought this might help others in the same The boat appreciate all that you guys
do. Donna in Rochester. Donna, by the way, is my favorite
character on TV. She's the redhead in suits and I would leave Susan in
a minute for this five foot nine gorgeous redhead Donna on suits. I've never
seen suits, but she is on this new like Coming of Age and Netflix
show that came out, and so I know who she is. She's a
very beautiful woman. Oh I love redheads. Yeah, she's really hot.
Anyway, it's a shame that you don't have a partner that takes care of
you that way, because I think that's selfish and inconsiderate. Yeah, but
maybe you don't see it that way, but I would. I'd be annoyed
if, like, you know, I didn't get a gift in my stocking,
but I bought for everybody else. I have a little bit of a
funny story to tell you about me and Andrew in presence in recent years.
I want to hear it. Okay. So it was just Andrew's birthday on
Monday, and we celebrated on the snowboarding trip and I packed a present and
all that good stuff, and he thought like he won digging in the freezer
one night and was like, look for something, and I'm like, babe,
we don't have anything. We went to the grocery store together. He's
like, I don't know. I thought maybe you'd work your magic and there'd
be ice cream in there or something, because I'm good at random shit like
that. Well he's surprised and I go no, And so I did surprise
them with a present though that morning and like packed it away, wrapped it,
brought gift wrapping, whatever, and I gave it to him. He's
like, oh, that's so awesome that you did that, like you always
have surprises. And then I go, well, now, remember you still
owe me a present for my birthday because my birthday was last May. He
bought me this backpack, so he did give me a present, but we
just returned it because he bought me a backpack from ARII that we were going
to use for snowboarding. It wasn't the kind I wanted, so he returned
it and I go, remember you still owe me a present and he goes,
yeah, yeah, I know. And I was like, and you
also didn't give me a present the year before because I had you return that
present too, because he bought me these ug slippers and I was like,
babe, I'm never going to wear these, like I just have cheap coal
slippers for twenty bucks, like, just return them. And he'd also spent
way too much money on like a dinner out and all this stuff. So
I was like, just return them. And then he also pointed out that
for Christmas this year, he returned half of my present he gave me for
Christmas also because I just didn't need it. And so for the last like
three times, pretty much he's giving me presents, We've returned them and I've
never gotten anything back. And that's fine. But the backpack thing, I
said, you're going to get me a backpack though? Okay, So he
felt like kind of bad because he does give me presents, it's just a
lot of times it's not exactly what I want, so we like return it
and then I'm gonna go get something new instead, and then I never do,
and so this time I was like, I'm holding you to the back
one. I get it. At least he is making an effort. He
does make an effort. I don't want to say that. And he also
does nice little things like at the airport, I went to get a coffee.
He had already had one that morning, so he wasn't getting one,
and he bought it for me. No, And I was like, get
out of here, I'll pay and he's like no, I'm puying it.
So he does plenty of nice little things to me. But it was funny
once I pointed out, like I forgot completely forgot about the Christmas present that
he returned half of it this year, but the other ones. I was
like, I remember we returned those. Get that backpack, T get that
fucking backpack, David Crewe. I wanted to bring up how Bayle said she
had never had a birthday party, and I feel her pain. I also
really haven't had a real birthday since it's literally two weeks after Thanksgiving and two
weeks before Christmas, so good luck trying to find anybody that's able to make
it. I also hate having eyes on me, and I really hate getting
gifts. When I turned thirty, I decided to want to have a three
K or five K mud run with me with everyone they just need to pay
for the cost, which was donated to the local foodshelves. That was my
gift. So for my thirty fifth birthday, I was gonna make everybody do
the bed races for bridging that got canceled due to COVID This year. In
twenty twenty four, I'll be turning forty and my family is already asking what
they have to do for my birthday. This year, I decided to make
them all do a polar plunge with me. You the shows are welcome to
come, but I know Dave Ryan might be busy that day even though I
didn't give a day haha, plain animal crossing or taking a daddy bar nap.
If you guys have any suggestions for what to do in five years,
please let me know. I can't do hyps so jumping out of a plane.
Fuck that, my feet belong on the ground. Also, thank you
for the staff writer sticker Dart Lickylo. That's from Nicole. Nicole, I
don't when people give me like ask me for suggestions like what to do for
something. It's really hard because I don't know you that well. But I
like the idea of doing something. If you can get your people to come
to you with you to a five K or you know whatever, that's great.
But yesterday somebody asked what to do for their husband's fiftieth birthday. We
got zero responses on that, and I think it's because people find it difficult
to say what you should do on a birthday. Yeah, it's very hard
and it sounds like, you want suggestions for something that's like a group activity
but also is donations to charity, and that's really hard for me to think
of something off the top of my head. One idea, though, is
I want to play pick a ball at this place in Maple Grove a couple
of weeks ago, and all of a sudden, and as our time was
wrapping up, literally one hundred people rolled up it decked out in this like
themed gear and they were clearly celebrating a birthday party. And I thought that
that was so cool that that's what they did for someone's birthday, or maybe
it was some other celebration. But I don't know anything like charity wise,
event wise off the top of my head. I would just say, look
at like local events happening in the area. On Facebook. There's like you
can always find things like that, So maybe that's an option, you know,
And that's true because well, a lot of the time Susan and I
sit around, like this weekend, we don't know what we're gonna do.
But a year or so ago, she looked up in New Wolm and there
was a Beatles tribute band playing at the downtown Old State Theater in New Oolm.
That's weird. I love the Beatles. Let's go to Newolm. We
stayed at the Holiday Inn. We went to Beagles Kaiser Hop, which is
our favorite restaurant down there, and we went to the Beatles' tribute show and
it was awesome. And we found it on Facebook, like in just things
that are happening, and you just found that like last minute, totally spontaneous.
Yeah, next email is they say I've got a lot of thoughts,
so here we go. And then they talked about missing my book signing and
they're a teacher and and I am going to do another book signing at the
Rosedale Barnes and Nobles soon. So I wrote to them and said, hey,
love to come do a book signing. They said, yeah, well
stock your book. We'll do a book signing. What day's work. So
we're working on that, but they said they couldn't come to last one.
Then they talk about changes at KATWB and they ask a lot of questions that
we've answered a lot of times, so we won't go over that again.
But I like what they said. Finally, a just because question what always
improves your mood even when you're upset, You can't say your partner kids are
pets. I'll go first. Mine are Reality TV and ma blanky love you
guys would love a staff writer stick or please, and I won't say their
name. Playing my ukulele yep, I would say always improves my mood.
What about you? Mine is getting outside. Usually it's just like a walk
or something. But getting outside, no matter like what time of the year,
always makes you feel better because I just think, obviously it's important to
be outdoors, like for your mental health. So that's usually mine. Yeah,
that's a good one. There's another question, what always improves your mood?
I mean some people be like, oh, eating always improves my mood.
I've heard you can't be depressed when you eat. Corey Foley told me
that. I don't know whether it's true or not. You can't be depressed
when you eat. I don't know. I hate to spread that rumor because
if somebody's got depression and they're like, I'm going to go eat and then
you gain forty five pounds, don't come bitch into me. Okay, next
one, and some emails, just to let you know, I will filter
them kind of visually as I'm looking ahead here. This one is I'm skipping
ahead. Marissa says, shout out to all the parents with some kind of
sickness running through their house. My almost two year old daughter went to daycare
today with a slightly irritated eye and came home with ultra pink swollen eye.
Gross. Gross. So here's your reminder not to touch your booty and then
your eye, crossing my finger, she doesn't pass it along to me this
time. Have a great week. Ah right, Marissa. I never knew
or associated touching your butthole with pink eye until Fallon brought it up, because
Fallen would. I don't know if Fallon touched her butt a lot or what,
or got pink eye. I never We never had pink eye in her
family, maybe once in a while. But is it disassociated with touching your
butthole? I believe it is because I think I learned that also in college,
because I got pink eye a couple different times in college, and so
of course all this stupid jokes were made about like what could have happened for
me to get pink eye? And I believe the touch in your butthole was
one of them. I really had no idea. I'm going to call my
friend nurse Wendy, and I'm going to ask her if that has anything to
do with it. You got to make a quick to the airport. Sure
does that touching your Does pink I come from touching your butthole? Oh?
You can. You can get stuff in your eyes from anything. But you
can get pink eye from ack? What other things can you get think guy
from? Well, you can get it. I'm just like having dirty hands.
You can pick up from someone else who's got nasty stuff going on.
So it's usually wash your hands, that's what I gotta wash your hand.
But if you got a two year old, they're not gonna wash their hands.
They're gonna touch their butthole. Then they're gonna get pink eye. Yeah,
they sure could well, or someone else's butthole or someone else's nay here,
Okay, that's probably why adults don't get pink eye very often, because
they don't touch their butthole and they wash their hands more often. Okay,
I have a good fly by bye. Okay, we gotta start paying her.
She's our go to. Everything's gonna happen, Jenny, you know that.
All right, let's find another one. These are fun let's see I.
Okay, Becky basically just wants a staff Rider sticker, and she loves
the longer length of the podcast, so I will take care of that.
My camera is not working right now, but there we go. Okay,
next one, Thank you, Becky. This sers I wanted to chime in
on what character came to my party. We must have talked about this a
couple of days ago. I talked about Barney coming to Allison's party and how
Alison or Angelica Pickles came to Allison's party when she was like nine. This
wasn't my party because I was neglected as a child and not given hugs or
characters at my birthdays. Yike's kidding, sort of okay, good? Instead,
I had to share them with my stupid brother, whose birthday is three
days after mine. But my mother was in town. My brother was in
town for Christmas. One year, we celebrated by my niece's birthday while in
town. She is obsessed with unicorns and all things flowery and glittery, like
many little girls. We got a unicorn to come for her little birthday party.
It was a white pony covered in glitter and flowers, eclipped with a
glitter unicorn horn. She was so excited and once she started writing her we
couldn't get her off. She was officially in love. To this day at
six years old, my sweet girl talks about the unicorn and how she loves
coming to Minnesota because that is where the unicorns live. Last year she even
made plans to catch a unicorn. Lol. Second thing, diddling the bean
needs to be a new sign off, because that was hilarious. You missed
that one. What happened? Bailey and I somehow something came up with diddling
the bean and Bailey laughed and then we laughed, and so she we brought
that up and that was kind of funny. And I'm going to send you
a staff writer sticker. She is from Ohio, but she listens to the
show in and over, so I'm going to send that to you. Thank
you. I don't know if you want me to say your name or not,
but I really appreciate that one. Diddling the bean and have a great
day, have a great weekend. Send those emails to Ryan Show at KADIWB
dot com.
